The coordinate plane below represents a city. Points A through F are schools in the city. graph of coordinate plane. Point A is at 2, negative 3. Point B is at negative 3, negative 4. Point C is at negative 4, 2. Point D is at 2, 4. Point E is at 3, 1. Point F is at negative 2, 3. Part A: Using the graph above, create a system of inequalities that only contain points A and E in the overlapping shaded regions. Explain how the lines will be graphed and shaded on the coordinate grid above. (5 points) Part B: Explain how to verify that the points A and E are solutions to the system of ine

Can you post the picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me a sec

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok, do you have any ideas of how to start?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, i mainly need help with part a and b. i have part c but thats all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i have no idea how to start

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok, let me draw a pic that should help with the concept at least.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Do you see how I drew that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so im basically supposed to find 2 inequalities that shade a and e?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yep

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Can you find two inequalities that make lines that look like that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so...

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

What kind of linear equation do you think one would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still tryna figure it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would y<3-6 work?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Very close! I think you mean y<3x-6, right? (Sorry, my OS site wouldn't load for a while there)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad for the late reply, I lost connection for a bit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the other equation is y<-2x-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Hm, I don't think the second one works.
